U.S. stocks climbed Tuesday as oil futures were on track to close at their highest levels of 2016, which was giving a lift to energy shares.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 154 points, or 0.9% to 17,710.23.
The S&P 500 index was up 15.74 points, or 0.8%, at 2,057.75, after slipping into the red about an hour into the day's trading action. Gains in the broad-market index were led by a 2.9% rise in energy stocks and a 0.5% rise in health care.
